Help! What's the etiquette for meeting someone at a professional event that you last saw when you were running a workshop about polyamory together? Especially if you didn't previously know you were in the same professional field?

"Hi, I think we've met once before, how are you?" and straight on to talking about their work.

Heh, while I admire your restraint, this was very strong mutual recognition & confusion. Almost "What the hell are YOU doing HERE?!". Fortunately we were both prepared because of seeing the other's name on the list of attenders & wondering "Can that *really* be...?", but even then it was a shock.

Also fortunately I got moved into a different group for the "Professional Speed Dating" activity so we ran into each other at dinner instead of there!
